Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Felix Dakat (ranked 1420 p4p, 1171 weight class) and Morgan Freeman (ranked 123 p4p, 104 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dakat might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Right On- Showcore. Morgan Freeman will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
